A87A7086 Red kite
Kingsdown.
I wasn't expecting to see much today so I took the small lens for my walk around my "Lockdown" patch. Everything was going as expected until I was walking up Bay View Road when a red kite drifted south over my head. As I followed it I saw 2 more floating around then realised there were another 4 on the ground near the huge muck heap. As I tried to get a little closer another mob of around 14 birds appeared from the south west and then another group drifted in from the north. In the end I counted 39 circling around.
They were mainly distant but the odd one came closer.
They then all moved towards the sea then north out of sight; I they went over Deal.
A very pleasant interlude in an otherwise uneventful walk.
